Toddler Wisdom 17

“That’s Perfect!”

Said while I was hanging up a picture of the Denver Bronco’s Cheerleaders by my computer. For the rest of the time Kael was using the computer, he couldn’t take his eyes off the poster.

Kid’s got good taste the ’05 squad was full of hotties…

Can you say Gullible?

These ladies are probably soon going to fall for a email from someone in Nigeria telling them that a rich, distant relative died, and for only 100,000 dollars, they can have the sum of 150 million sent to them via western union…

In case you’re not sure what I’m talking about (and really, why would you be?) I’m referring to the two idiots in Florida (of course) that let someone claiming to be a Dr come into their house, get them undresses, and fondle them by saying he was giving out free breast exams.

From the article:

One woman became suspicious after the man asked her to remove all her clothes and began conducting a purported genital exam without donning rubber gloves, investigators said.

uh yeah… dumbass.. you don’t think maybe you should have been suspicious when he said he was a Dr, doing something for free, and not at the hospital or his office? did you even ask to see his ID? Probably not..

I’ve got a bridge I’d like to sell you….

Yummy!

I need one of these:

From the article:

As if the Hardee’s family of Monster Thickburgers doesn’t offer enough meat, the company’s latest version adds steak meat on top of an already large slab of beef.

The meat-on-meat Philly Cheesesteak Thickburger, launched Wednesday, features one-third of a pound of Angus beef, along with both Swiss and American cheeses, green peppers and onions. And piled atop all of that is thinly sliced steak meat.

Now, if only the closest Hardee’s wasn’t 101 miles from me (and yes.. I looked..its 101 miles)…wonder if I could have one shipped via fed-ex for same day delivery…..

Moving!

No…not us.. it’ll be quite a while before we move again..

Apple is moving.. they announced their plans to the Cupertino City Council the other day… they plan to build (and relocate to) a new 50 acre corporate campus..

Wonder if they can convince the city to move the 1 Infinite loop address the 1 mile to the new campus

Kael’s tattoo opinion

Janice sent me this email at work the other night:

Okay, so we’re watching “Miami Ink” and cuddling on the couch after I

put Maryn to bed. Kael asked what she was doing. So I told him she

was giving that guy a tattoo. The guy was being real dramatic about

it and crying out and closing his eyes real tight and saying “man,

this hurts so much”.

Then, Kael decided he wanted one of his Thomas tattoos. So, I start

putting his tattoo on, and notice that he’s got his eyes clenched

real tight and then he opens his eyes and says “why was he

screaming? This doesn’t hurt at all!”

Gotta love the kid.. he’s all set to go out and start calling people who say Tatoos hurt wimps…

1st Passover

Yesterday we took Maryn to her first Passover Seder. Unlike her big brother’s first Passover… Maryn wasn’t old enough to eat anything.. so, for her.. it was pretty much like any other dinner.. she sat there and watched us eat, getting passed around from person to person..

Next year though..she’ll be old enough to eat some of everything!

Ouch

So..surfing around today at work, I come across this article. Which seems to be a police blotter kinda thing for Lincoln Nebraska.. now, of particular enjoyment to me, was this blurb:

A 38-year-old Lincoln man showed up at BryanLGH Medical Center West on Monday, claiming he had been assaulted last week, police said Tuesday.

The man told hospital staff he was in the area of 28th and P streets Thursday when someone punched him in the head from behind and kicked him when he fell.

He said he temporarily lost consciousness and came to, only to find his pants down to his ankles.

An X-ray at the hospital Monday revealed a 20-ounce soft drink bottle lodged in the man’s lower intestine. He was to have it removed Tuesday.

Now.. don’t you think, that if you were assaulted, and had a plastic pop bottle shoved up your ass, that you might have noticed that something felt… different almost immediately.. I really can’t imagine it taking a week for someone to notice that they were having problems sitting, their ass was sore, and that they felt… full…

Textbook Lessons

So, how come the textbooks when I was in school never had lessons like this in them:

NEW DELHI (Reuters) – A textbook used at schools in the Indian state

of Rajasthan compares housewives to donkeys, and suggests the animals

make better companions as they complain less and are more loyal to

their “masters,” The Times of India reported Tuesday.

“A donkey is like a housewife … In fact, the donkey is a shade

better, for while the housewife may sometimes complain and walk off to

her parents’ home, you’ll never catch the donkey being disloyal to his

master,” the newspaper reported, quoting a Hindi-language primer meant

for 14-year-olds.

The book was approved by the state’s Hindu nationalist Bharatiya

Janata Party government but has sparked protests from the party’s

women’s wing.

State education officials in Rajasthan, a western state known for its

conservative attitude toward women, said people should not be upset by

the comparison, the paper said.

“The comparison was made in good humor,” state education official A.R.

Khan was quoted as saying. “However, protests have been taken note of

and the board is in the process of removing it (the reference).”

And no, I can’t tell you where I found it.. since it was forwarded to me… but, it seems like good information to pass along.. remember donkey > wife!
